Felline “Pietraluna” Negroamaro Salento IGP

INTRODUCTION

This single varietal Negroamaro is an expression by Gregory Perucci, the founder of Felline, of his love of Puglia and its viticulture. The grapes are grown in loose, stony soil and the wine builds of the success of his iconic, award-winning Primitivo di Manduria collections, he set out to create wines that speak of the memory and heritage of the region. Seeking to preserve Puglia’s wine identity, and highlight its beauty and diversity, he has created a series of single varietals. This Negroamaro is a beneficiary of his great passion. After the grapes are harvested by hand, they’re destemmed, the grapes are crushed and the wine fermented and macerated at a temperature of 25-27°C and aged in stainless steel.
